Had my ultrasound and dropped $350 on maternity clothes

We have a good strong heartbeat and official Valentines Day edd! So I celebrated with maternity shopping even though totally not needed yet. But it was fun!

Yay good for you! Did the same thing yesterday!

Congrats on the heartbeat and Valentines day edd! I hope you got mostly fall / winter stuff!

 I won't buy maternity stuff in the 1st trimester, I feel like its bad mojo, KWIM? Don't wanna jinx this pregnancy before it even really takes off. 

laura*sean

I get you. To me, most of the uncertainty is gone once we see a heartbeat.

That is so exciting! I think i might buy some maternity shorts after my first u/s next Tuesday.

Now, where were all these cute dresses when I was at Old Navy a few days ago?? All I saw were about five style, all of which were pretty shapeless.

Pants and lower half wear is so expensive at the maternity store near me, so gonna hold off on that as long as I can.. But already got a couple shirts and cute summer dress, that look good non-maternity as well, so if things go south I'll still be able to wear it!!
They had a 7 month belly thing you can try on to see how you'll look, can't wait!

I found a CRAZY sale at a Gap maternity store last week. It was all Fall and Winter stuff that they were trying to get rid of. They had marked everything way down and then had an additional 40% off. I got 8 tops, a dress, and two pants all for just about $50. I just couldn't pass that up. I LOVE Gap's stuff too- well made and cute too.

@clickyclg were they maternity or regular sized clothes?

chickyclg

@mahalo3 they were Maternity

I went to a crappy Old Navy today that didn't even have Maternity. I will be hitting up another one after work today. I am on a mission! The one by my house is an outlet, and I know they have maternity. Everything at the outlets are 40% off today too!

I didn't even think to look at the outlets, if I can get my butt out of the house today I might stop by my local one.
